This patent covers a growth factor called human pluripotent granulocyte colony stimulating factor. Since names of growth factors have been standardized, it is difficult to tell which modern-day cytokine this is referring to.
In any case, this growth factor is an expander of hematopoietic stem cells, and is useful for treatment of patients whose hematopoietic system has been minimized either purposely or due to disease.
